Title: Scheduling tasks
Inventor: Simon Nield
IPC: G06F9/38
Filed: 2017-06-16
Abstract: A parallel processing unit runs multiple threads using multiple arithmetic logic unit (ALU) pipelines. One pipeline is designated as the primary instruction pipeline. This may be the most used pipeline or the pipeline that is most efficient. The processing unit records which tasks are associated with the primary pipeline. When an instruction is scheduled, the processing unit identifies the pipeline that is targeted by the instruction. If it is not the primary pipeline, then the instruction is sent to the targeted pipeline. If it is and the task is associated with the primary pipeline, then the instruction is issued to the primary pipeline. If it is and the task is not associated with the primary pipeline and the primary pipeline is not full, then the instruction is sent to the primary pipeline and the task is associated with the primary pipeline. Otherwise the task is deactivated. When the primary pipeline is no longer full, the task which has been deactivated longest is reactivated.

Title: Optimising operating conditions in an abatement apparatus
Inventor: DUNCAN MICHAEL PRICE
IPC: F23N5/00
Filed: 2019-11-05
Abstract: A method of optimising operating conditions in an abatement apparatus (10, fig. 1) to treat an effluent stream from a process by determining carbon monoxide (CO) concentration produced by the apparatus and adjusting operating parameters accordingly. The CO concentration may be measured in the exhaust of the apparatus and potentially by means of an infrared spectrometer (130, fig. 1). Adjusted operating parameters may include fuel/oxidant ratio, oxidant supply or fuel supply. The method of changing by increasing or decreasing either the fuel/oxidant ratio or oxidant supply may involve reversing the change if CO concentration increases as a result, or retaining the change if concentration decreases. There may also be a CO threshold and manipulation of either fuel/oxidant ratio or fuel supply may involve reversing the change if it drives CO concentration away from this threshold or retaining a change if it drives the concentration towards the threshold amount. An apparatus for the method is also claimed.
